Then in the same directory, edit the .vmx file changing all occurrences of “master” to “clone”
– any “fileName” entry
– any “displayName” entry
– any “nvram” entry
– any “extendedConfigFile”
– any “checkpoint.vmState”

Also in the same directory, edit the main .vmdk file and change the mane of the file from “master-flat.vmdk” to “clone-flat.vmdk”

Then from the Finder or from VMware Fusion, open the .vmx file

Finally tell VMware Fusion that you “copied” the VM, so it gets a new hardware ID.
